Lost in London" with Newton
Beers in the title role of Job Armroyd,
will be presented at the Grand opera,
beginning Monday, Dec. 10. Three
nights and a matinee will be the
limit of the engagement. Lost in
London is powerful dramatic
story of a wrOnged husband search
ing for wife who has fled
to London. Through many trials and
tribulatiOns he reaches her, and all ends
in forgiveness. The scenic effects of
Lost in London" are said to be eSpeci-
ally clear. and as the scenes come from
the brush of the talented Henry HOyt.
il is safe to precurSe that they are all
that is claimed. A lot of clever special
lists, the Panpipe singers, the London
tiger. and the ballet, led by CarlOtta,
are extra features that relieve the SOM
berness of this powerful play. Mr..
Beers. the star, while comparatively I'M
known here. has many tiattering notices
of his ability. The advance sale opens
to-day at the box Office.
